If we could get our Centre halves etc to chip in with a few goals from corners free kicks etc it would give us a new dimension and also more problems for our opponents to figure out, i remember players like Billy Clarke Andy Tilson Adam Barrett Stevie Elliot all scoring a few goals a season, am pretty sure it gives opposing managers a lot to worry about like when teams play sides like Chelsea for example they must worry themselves sick when they see players like Terry etc coming up for set plays.

Good post. all strikers have off days and when ours do that's when we usually lose. It normally brings about threads saying things like our strikers just not good enough but I actually think they are and its down to the whole team to chip in and make the most of thier chances too. Parkes in particular seems to miss great chance after great chance season after season, and locks has missed a couple of sitters this season too. Hopefully it's something DC is working on because if we've noticed he would obviously have too. |

Chelsea are just outside the Premiership drop zone so I doubt many managers are worrying too much about Terry this season? Problem is players like Terry don't suddenly start scoring goals because their manager tells them to start chipping in with a goal or two it's something they've done all their careers, probably as far back as school boy football. Think we have more hope of Mansell, Lines, Sincs & Brown scoring goals. |

Lockyer and Parkes have both come close a few times. Would be nice if one actually went in occaisionally!
Still I do think they give other teams something to worry about even if the fans feel we dont pose a real threat from corners etc.

Over our last 8 games we have scored 14 goals. Not bad, but nothing particularly special in that, but we have only conceded 4 goals - half as many as any other team in this league.
ISTM that we are now kicking into similar form that saw us rise rapidly up the table last season, based on a solid defence and an ability to keep going until we score. The additional impact that we get through Gaffney is only going to make us more dangerous.
Don't get me wrong, nothing gave me more pleasure than to see Stuart Taylor use his height advantage to get a few goals, but I'm happier if our defence can come away with a clean sheet and let the midfield and forwards get the goals.

I agree with the above that they've been unlucky, but I certainly feel Parkes should be putting away some of the free headers he always gets!
